Re: Gurps Modern Folks
Hmm, skills should include Psychology, Diplomacy, Carousing, Brawling.
I'm not sure how much running of the business side a barkeeper has to do. Accounting, Merchant, Leadership (for managing staff) might be needed if he's the owner/operator.

Re: Gurps Modern Folks
Actually that's more like Administration. Leadership is for goading people into risking their lives I think.

Re: Gurps Modern Folks
Er, Bartender is the by-the-book example of a Professional skill. Shouldn't we list that?

Re: Gurps Modern Folks
I'd be more interested in educations. How much is a BS or BA, MS or MA? How much is a PhD? How skilled is a regular career soldier at shooting his rifle, or if non-infantry at doing his MOS-job?

Re: Gurps Modern Folks
How about the Dabbler Perk? I'm not sure a completely and utterly mundane bartender warrants a full 1 CP in Psychology (Applied).
